836 E 17th Avenue 1a

Calling all history buffs, genealogists, and lovers of classical architecture and design! Designed by renowned Denver architect Frank Snell and located in the Swallow Hill Historic District, The Perrenoud is a local legendary example of early 20th Century classic architecture and design. Built by the three Perrenoud sisters in 1901, not only does the building contain a living museum of 1900-era artifacts, the building itself is a Grand Dame of Uptown architecture and a historical treasure in preservation circles. Unit 1A was occupied by the eldest of the three sisters, Rachel Perrenoud and her husband Redwood Fisher. The Perrenoud harkens back to a time when people dressed, gathered, danced and socialized in high style. Built as one of Denver's original New York City-style cooperatives, the concept was one of an in-residence social club. Built in six distinct wings, each unit has no common side walls and natural light from three sides, providing the ultimate level of comfort and privacy with the lock-and-leave convenience of an Uptown pied-a-terre. The unit features two bedrooms, three baths, an updated kitchen with new Quartz countertops, coffee bar, induction range/double oven, and newer refrigerator. In-unit laundry room adds maximum convenience. Primary bedroom offers ample closet space with additional large closet in the primary bath featuring dual vanities and a large soaking tub with marble surround. The original details include ornate moldings, leaded glass windows, original hardware, old growth solid doors, original hardwood floors, mosaic tile fireplace surround, and some original light fixtures. The grand entry hallway features original mosaic tile, French-plate mirrors, marble, translucent onyx fireplace, original switchboard, and of course, the famed Otis Birdcage Elevator. Heat and natural gas included in HOA dues, unit has two ductless air conditioners for maximum comfort. Single car detached garage and storage unit assigned at time of purchase.
